One of boy's wife just finished the trail yesterday from Maine to Georgia. Took her 6 months, she got caught up in the blizzard, so she got slowed down a bit. [bow_down] 2,200 miles. [drink]
[clap]
Exactly how many wives does the boy have?
[cheeky]
That's a seriously awesome achievement. My first hiking goal is to become a 46er (Adirondack high peaks). I only have 43 more to go...
:D
I said wife, not wives. :D
Good for her, that's a huge effort [thumbsup]
What he just said! That's awesome. Good for her indeed. [thumbsup] [bow_down]
That is a daunting accomplishment [clap] [clap]....especially when you get down to the Tennessee areas in the deep Smokies....it becomes near mountain climbing
I lived close to the Trail Head in North Georgia and did some day hiking there a few years back....holy crap
that ain't no waltz down a nature trail
Bill Bryson wrote a pretty entertaining book on his attempt at the trail.
[bow_down]
Congratulations - that's a fantastic achievement.

I've always thought that had to be one of the oddest book pitches ever - Bryson going to his publisher, pitching a book about how he DIDN'T hike the AT. Funny book nonetheless.
Congrats to the boy's wife! [bow_down]
I have nooooooo desire.
A friend of mine did it years ago - took about the same amount of time. Upon completion, he promptly got the "AT" tatt. Not being one to get inked, I would likely change that if I did the trail.
What's her next adventure?

Maybe we should have one of these threads?
My buddy and some of his friends were hiking on the AT in Georgia a number of years ago. They were puttering around setting up camp in some remote area when a rustic individual stepped out of the brush and said, "Ma says you all are to come to dinner now" They went and it was creepy.
The went as in
went to dinner,
or got the make the beast with two backs out of there?
